The Darkwood devs just released their own torrent for the game
>Hi! This torrent was brought to you by the developers of Darkwood - Acid Wizard Studio.
>This is the latest version of Darkwood at the time of writing this (1.0 hotfix 3). Completely DRM-free. There's no catch, no added pirate hats for characters or anything like that.
>We have just one request: if you like Darkwood and want us to continue making games, consider buying it in the future, maybe on a sale, through Steam, GOG or Humble Store. But please, please, don't buy it through any key reselling site. By doing that, you're just feeding the cancer that is leeching off this industry.
>This torrent comes with no installer, so you can just run it from the mounted image, but we recommend copying the contents to your disk and running it from there.
>For more info on our story and why we decided to share this with you, check out: http://imgur.com/a/xVhDz
>Have fun! The Acid Wizards

that's actually incredible, even though I can't reach the torrent.
I HOPE I DON'T GET BANNED FOR THIS

Pretty cool of them to do that.
Also I'm a retard, how do I reload guns? I'm assuming any unused bullets get discarded when I reload a new magazine, right?
Game doesn't look like my cup of tea but good on them. Hopefully they get some exposure out of it or they just made a pretty dumb decision.
>>388202362
postan more proof
>>388202392
They have already sold above expectations and honestly the game is worth it. Pretty fucking cool move if you ask me.
If only more devs were as legit as these fellas.
Huh, this actually makes me want to buy the game just to support devs like this. Really seems like they love the game they made.
>>388202362
i don't think the mods should punish you since it is technically an "official" torrent
>>388202991
t. dev
I did that 3 days ago. Great game
This move is similar with what happened during the release of Hotline Miami
The devs went on to pirate bay to give support in the comment section
Amazing move, that got blog coverage and all
Years later, Hotline Miami is a cult classic, and respected by everyone as the epitome of the indie era
>>388201457
I'd literally rather download a scene release than something released by the devs themselves
this sounds sketchy as fuck
and the game was already cracked and out for like a week so what's the point, other than being a PR stunt
Is that legit or does it have a keylogger?
>>388203525
>>388203587
I can't honestly believe this posts are real
>>388202392
It's hard for small indie games to be hurt by piracy as unlike AAA tittles, people rarely seek them out to pirate them. They are cheaper, people feel worse about it being a small dev and most importantly no one knew about before finding the torrent probably. Games like Hotline Miami were helped by piracy because they gained exposure and people felt the devs were wroth supporting.
>>388203525
Are you dumb? It is a PR stunt, that shouldn't matter to you in anyway unless you're autistic. "Oh I can never be a part of a PR promotion" Kill yourself my man.
I'm trying to find some official info, but can't find any about it
Oh fuck, a herd of crows just flew over the house and something is screaming.
>>388201457
>was looking forward to pirate and play it
>don't even want to play it anymore now that they don't want to keep me from playing it
i backed this game on indiegogo. this decision makes me regret it.
I gave them money to make the game, and now years later, when it finally comes out, they give it away for free?
Alright. I'll make sure to pirate all your other games in the future.

They're not giving it away for free, I bet that shitty torrent has a fucking keylogger.
There's nothing about it on their website or any other official source.

why? you don't even have to install the game
This is actually pretty cool of the devs to do. I've been looking at buying this game for a while, but I hate buying Early Access games just on the sake of principal alone. But things like this? Make me wanna throw some dosh their way never the less. Always nice to see a studio be humble for once, and try to earn some good will from gamers instead if further nickle and diming us. Will be buying a few days after the torrent finishes
literally downloading from the devs

Follow the post's imgur link and read to the end. Torrent link is right there.
>tfw you feel like an ass for playing the pirated version now
>>388206245
You can always buy it you know, even they are sending out torrents for basically a free demo.
>>388201457
Piratefaggotry aside, how is the actual game? Any fun?
I am going to buy the game anyway
>>388204016
I backed it on indiegogo ages ago as well and regret nothing. I got to start playing ages ago, and by doing so helped fuel the development of the title into what it is now. Why be mad? They are still selling the game, they just know that no matter what the game will be pirated, so why not just let a copy out into the wild on your own and get a little PR to go along with it. I know lots of people will pirate and buy it. Sure some wont, but they weren't going to buy it anyway. Pretty cool and smart move.
Fun game too.

*keylogs your gameplay*
oh boi
I played the game for a bit. Was fun at the start, but then it just gets tedious.
The second safe house is where I gave up.
You find a new shelter, you barricade all the windows and you settle down for the night. Then 4 guys simply open the doors and get in to surround you and beat you to death. It's fucking tedious. What the game wanted me to do was to waste 30 minutes of my time to go back to my other hide out and get enough materials to barricade the doors too. You can't block the doors with a cupboard, you can't even lock the doors.
The first safe house was tedious too because there's a hole in the wall that you can't even block. Whatever you put in front of the hole just gets pushed away.
I hate this sort of all or nothing type of game design. You either block everything or you're safe, or you don't block one thing and you're completely unsafe since they'll just go trough there.
A simple ability to lock the doors and force monsters to break the door down would make the game much more enjoyable, even if the door could be kicked in with 3 hits.
>>388207854
You do realize you can barricade the door like windows right? Hold left click
>>388207854
But you can barracade things so monsters have to actually break a barracade down.
I watched some nigga do it on twitch a couple days ago.
Wtf anon.
>>388207854
You can barricade doors too you know. Also, enemies can only seem to push in, if you pulled the wardrobe in the first safehouse outside to block the hole, I don't think anything could get in. The game also gives you a lot in the way of traps, bear/chain traps are easy to make and you can throw bottles on the ground to make glass traps.
Barricade everything except a single entrance point to funnel enemies in and set up traps there.
>>388208084
Yes, retard. Did you read what I posted?
I hate this all or nothing game design. To barricade all the windows and the doors you need to make two trips to the second safehouse because of the small inventory space.
I make my way there with as many supplies as I can, I barricade all the windows and one door, and it's completely useless because they can just open doors like it's nothing.
I don't have to barricade my doors in real life to keep people out.
These devs seem cool, I'm gonna___buy_the fuck out of this game
>>388201457
Respect
What the fuckwas that in the underground? I just bolted the fuck out of there.
>>388201457
Are the load times still ass? Having to wait ten minutes just to get into the game killed any fun I could have had with it.
Slavs will save the PC gaming.
>>388208521
3-8 seconds for me.
>>388208521
I have read about that, and they recommend copying the contents of the iso into a folder
>>388204016
You got the game
>>388205231
>>388205367
>Polacs
so prode
>>388208351
No you idiot, don't barricade all the doors in the entire hideout. All you need to do is to find a single room and hunker down. The rest of the hideout is for benny hilling any enemy that gets through
>>388208732
i.e all or nothing design
>>388208498
Red chomper. You will definitely see them again :)
>>388204151
They released on GoG, that means the torrent was instantly available. They know people are torrenting it. By releasing an 'official' torrent it does more good than harm and merits free brownie points.
Random torrent releases can get away with keyloggers and shit because the only thing at stake is their user persona. A developer coming out and having a keylogger during a gesture of good faith would be way more risk for way less reward.
Pretty interesting game
I just played 20 minutes
the aesthetics and vibes are awesome
>>388201457
That's based as fuck. Initially pirated the game and wasn't gonna buy it, but now I just might.
This game looks interesting, but I'm still not convinced. I tend to stay away from top-down games in general.
If you were to show me one video to convince me to buy this, what would it be?
>>388208806
Explain to me how is that all or nothing. You barricade yourself in a room and avoid getting detected, you get detected and your barricade and traps will buy you time to deal with the intruder and then you barricade it again after they are dead. Or if you are can't fight, you bolt out after they break in and lead them around your hideout on a wild goose chase until dawn.
Not gonna lie, former pirate supporter here. This is fucking hilarious watching pirates crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the nuclear codes
>>388206134
hmm adware malware and bitcoin miners.
>>388207854
You realize in every safehouse past the first you're never going to block anything and it's not a matter of 'will something get in' but 'How will I kill what gets in', right?
Because it honestly sounds like you're in one of those 'git gud' situations.
So, is it good? I'm generally a big pussy when it comes to horror games, but I can force myself through it if it's worth it.
Where the save files stored in this game?
>>388209516
the gameplay trailer
>>388209541
It's all or nothing because you can't have any weak points in the house. If something isn't barricaded they'll just go trough.
You're suggesting that the only real safe way to play is to sit in a single room and barricade all entrances.
That is not a fun way of playing the game.
I like to improvise and work with what I have to keep the entire house as safe as I can. I like to walk around the house and try to see what is outside trough the cracks, I try to light as much of the rooms as I can so I have plenty of space to work with. Barricading myself in a single room sounds fucking boring.
It's all or nothing in the sense if I barricade 90% of the windows and doors, it doesn't matter because that 10% is just a straight up entrance.
What would really fix the game is if you could simply lock the doors and the pushable objects were harder to push. That is all I really want.
Being able to do something like buy more lamps for the house would also be sweet.

I don't understand why I feel the need to buy the game when something like this happens. I also did the same thing for Hotline Miami 2, and I've yet to play it.
You know I wanted to pirate the game, but after the developers did this I will be buying Darkwood on Steam.
Huh, this actually makes me want to buy the game just to support devs like this. Really seems like they love the game they made.
I bought it. No regrets.

I live in the fucking warsaw, chances are I've seen the devs on the streets sometime. People here would fuck over a stranger for a pack of smokes. Remember that one time CDPR tried to sue some poor fag for piracy?
Sklej pizde debilu.
>>388201457
I don't give a shit about their marketing schemes but is the game any good? The screenshot looks like early access trash.
Reminds me of the movie the man from earth which reached millions of people because of piracy and the creator admitted so. I donated money to him after because there was no way to buy his movie in my country
